Global Health
Global is local. Local is global.
At the Gillings School, we work in all 100 North Carolina counties and in 35+ countries. Local and global health content infuses our courses and degrees. Through partnerships at home and abroad, our students and faculty transform health around the world and in our backyard.

Meet one of our Fulbright Scholar's, Paz Cook, PhD student in epidemiology
Global health for me is about knowing, understanding, accepting, and considering the diverse cosmovision of health and reality across communities, towns, cities, and countries, in order to create realistic, acceptable, and applicable ways to prevent health problems and create public health solutions.
